Thank you for the hint.
I looked at this and I would like to propose the following modification
in the /env/bin/_update script. The following check:
if [ x$ip = xdhcp ]; then
dhcp
fi
can be changed to this:
if [ x$ip = xdhcp -o -z $eth0.ipaddr ]; then
dhcp
fi
or perhaps just:
if [ -z $eth0.ipaddr ]; then
dhcp
fi
This makes it possible to keep using the 'ip' variable in /env/config to
indicate which ip config data should be passed to the kernel via bootargs,
however if ip=none and eth0.ipaddr is not explicitly defined, barebox
will still do dhcp when necessary.
What do you think about this?
